| PRESIDENTIAL FAvORITES.
The topics covered by the delegates IN
| Convention were the tariff question raised
by Cleveland's message and Blaine's Paris
interview and the personal choice of can
| didates. The canvass brought out prefer
ences for Blaine, Hawley of Connecticut,
| Sherman, Lincoln and Allison.
The canvass for second choice brought
| out the name of Foraker from several Ohio
| delegates.
The Post made canvass among the del
egates, and says: All sorts of opinions
were expressed by the delegates There
was very decided preponderance of feel
ing in favor of Blaine as the Republican
candidate for President. The Buffalo dele
cations from this State openly announced
that Blaine was the strongest man that
| could be named.
